Under certain conditions, the substance ammonium chloride can be broken down to form ammonia and hydrogen chloride. If 29.4 gram
1 answer:
Answer: 20.0 g of hydrogen chloride must simultaneously be formed
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is :
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. The mass on reactant side must be equal to the mass on product side.
Thus mass of reactants = mass of products
Given : mass of ammonium chloride = mass of reactants = 29.4 g
mass of ammonia = 9.4 g
mass of products = mass of ammonia + mass of hydrogen chloride
9.4 g +mass of hydrogen chloride = 29.4 g
mass of hydrogen chloride = 20.0 g

Answer:
a. A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is endothermic.
Explanation:
The change in free energy (ΔG) that is, the <u>energy available to do work</u>, of a system for a constant-temperature process is:
- When ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
- When ΔG > 0 the reaction is nonspontaneous. The reaction is
spontaneous in the opposite direction.
- When ΔG = 0 the system is at equilibrium.
If <u>both ΔH and ΔS are positive</u>, then ΔG will be negative only when the TΔS term is greater in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is large.
